Timothée
Chalamet, Elle Fanning, and Selena Gomez will bring a youthful glimmer to Woody
Allen’s next feature film. The still untitled project will be the third film
that Allen, our preeminent chronicler of on-screen neurosis, directs for Amazon
Studios. The company previously worked with Allen on “Cafe Society” and the
upcoming “Wonder Wheel.”
Chalamet is
earning raves and Oscar buzz for his star turn in “Call My By Your Name,” which
hits theaters next fall. Fanning recently had a key supporting role in “The
Beguiled” while Gomez is a former Disney Channel star who also appeared in
“Spring Breakers” — a film that nuked her squeaky clean image.
Allen’s
films are notoriously secretive affairs. True to form this project isn’t even
being announced with a logline, so it’s unclear who these three
twenty-something stars will play.
“Wonder
Wheel” will have its world premiere as the closing night film of the New York
Film Festival in October. Kate Winslet, Justin Timberlake, and James Belushi
head the cast of the film, which takes place in Coney Island. It opens
in theaters on Dec. 1.
Allen has
won four Oscars in his decades-long career. He is responsible for the likes of
“Annie Hall,” “Blue Jasmine,” “Manhattan,” and “Midnight in Paris.”
